- Abstract
This study is devoted to the discovery of a former manor that used to stand in the floodplain of the Radostovský stream in the immediate southern vicinity of the centre of present-day Radostov, near Hradec Králové. The fortification was located on the basis of identified terrain relics and remote sensing. Surface collections, metal-detector and geophysical surveys were carried out over several years. Based on the finds, the period of the settlement‘s operation is sought between the turn of the 13th and 14th centuries and the end of the 15th century. Magnetometric measurements revealed that the manor had been built in two formally almost identical phases, with the younger phase positioned just slightly to the west of the older phase and the two plans partially overlapped. Within the younger phase, structures of the internal buildings were identified, as well as the perimeter fortification of the core of the manor and the course of the moat and rampart. In both phases, the manor was an upper-class residence founded in the floodplain of a stream, formed by a central elevated hill surrounded by a ditch and a rampart. This type of fortified noble seat is common in the western part of the Hradec Králové region.
